The benefits of argan oil for skin and hair
In a few years, argan oil has become a valuable ally for the beauty of the skin and the hair. Focus on an ingredient with multiple virtues.
This oil has become familiar ... Yet it has long remained the secret of beauty of Moroccan women. It is extracted from the fruit of the argan tree - a tree that grows mainly in the southwest of Morocco - by cold pressure of the almonds. "The Berbers used to apply this elixir on their faces to protect themselves from the aggressive wind of the desert. They also used it to treat cardiovascular diseases, "says Clémence Serot, pharmacist. In the years 2000, argan oil acquires a new notoriety thanks to studies that put forward its properties. Its production is mechanized, increasing the yield and promoting its use throughout the world. Thanks to its soothing and replenishing action, this oil is very appreciated by dry skin. "It is also the ally of mature skin, thanks to its revitalizing, healing and antioxidant action," continues our expert. In addition, it protects hair from dryness and prolongs the shine of colorations. Argan oil has thus become an essential ingredient in cosmetics.
Argan oil, firming, anti-wrinkle ...
Its fatty acids have an interesting action on the suppleness and elasticity of the skin, which can delay the appearance of wrinkles and strengthen skin firmness. They also stimulate cell renewal. "The vitamin E it contains protects against the harmful effects of free radicals and preserves the quality of fatty acids," explains Clémence Serot. While the presence of sterols improves the microcirculation, promoting exchange and good looks. In addition, these lipids limit the inflammatory reactions, which accelerate aging, and exert a protective action against UV rays.
Finally, the rich texture of this oil is comfortable on mature skin, often denuded. It can be used both pure and mixed with an anti-aging cream to reinforce the nutritive power, and preferably in the evening, because of the light shiny film that leaves on the surface.
But also cicatrizing and restorative!
"Argan oil contains more than 80% unsaturated fatty acids, including 45% oleic acid (omega-9), which is found especially in sebum," says Clemence Serot. On the skin, it strengthens the hydrolipidic film and thus maintains a good hydration of the skin. This fatty acid also improves healing: very effective on cracking and burning, it relieves the tightness of dry skin. "With its 36% linoleic acid (omega-6), the oil reinforces the barrier function of the skin and preserves the exchanges between the cells," she continues.
Hence the interest to apply it on the dry and mature skins, but also on those without particular problem to prevent aging. Finally, it is beneficial for colored or fragile hair. Applied in capillary mask on lengths and tips or in daily care, it forms a protective film against aggressions.
How to choose your argan oil
According to its method of harvesting, the argan oil is of more or less good quality. If it comes from amandons picked up on the ground, it may be less concentrated in active ingredients. "The goats eat the nuts fallen to the ground and spit out the kernel, which contains the almonds. Which alters their quality, "warns Clémence Serot. Trust the well-known brands and, if you buy a craft oil, feel it. It has very little smell!
